Cybercriminals target end users. Ongoing cybersecurity education and training for end users is a must for businesses to stay secure.

Problem

Cybercriminals target businesses through their end users, often using user information as shared on social networks and other locations online to gain their trust. When end users unwittingly click phishing links, open malware attachments, or give up credentials and other sensitive information online, cybercriminals can bypass existing layers of security to successfully breach organizations' networks.

Businesses need a cost-effective solution that delivers the right security and cyber-awareness training to the individuals who need it most to stop breaches and minimize the security impact of unwitting user error.

Solution

With ongoing, relevant, engaging cybersecurity awareness training-such as phishing simulations, courses on IT and security best practices, and data protection and compliance training where relevant-businesses can significantly reduce the risks they face due to user error. Webroot Security Awareness Training ensures that people, processes, and technology are all harnessed effectively together to stop cybercriminals.

Security Awareness Training benefits

Fewer cybersecurity incidents

The vast majority of successful data breaches involve users falling for phishing attacks. But security awareness training can help to reduce the likelihood of success for these and other attacks, slashing the time MSPs spend on remediation.

Proven efficacy

User error accounts for up to 90% of successful breaches. With computer-based training, you can significantly change the odds.

Ongoing defense

New tactics and techniques are constantly being dreamt up by cybercriminals. Ongoing user training ensures your clients are kept up to date on the latest methods of attack, so they stay on track and out of the headlines.

What our customers have to say.

I first implemented a mandatory, in-person Security Awareness Training lunch and learn program for my clients back in 2015. I then followed it up with the Webroot random phishing and online training platform as well as a quarterly incentive program for good behavior. I consider Security Awareness Training to be the single most important part of my layered security offering. To date, no client who has participated in our Security Awareness Training program has suffered a breach. I credit the usefulness and relevance of the Webroot solution as an integral part of our approach.
